After 6 days my cat Chappy（チャッピー）is finally back from the vet. It was all a bit expensive but thanks to the vet he is better and is eating well. We hope that he may be able to live a little longer than we expected. This time of year my son often caught colds when he was small. I had forgotten about it until he said that he didn’t feel well recently and was not able to go to his teaching practicum. Fortunately he managed to play the violin in his school orchestra at a few events which were held at a kindergarten, an elementary school and a school for the physically and mentally handicapped this month. Since he and his group played music for children, they chose songs which are popular among young people. I hope those young children grow interested in music instruments. I also hope that my son will continue playing the piano and violin so that he can make use of his spare time in the future. (2014.9.24)My calico cat disappeared at the end of last year and hasn't come back home. Now another cat of mine has been sick. He only eats a little sashimi and grilled fish nowadays. About 8 years ago, I took he and his twin sister in, someone obviously had abandoned them. Compared to the few cats in our garage outside, they don't like people and only need the food I give them regularly、he was very friendly and soon started to live with us. Considering his age, it would be difficult for him to recover, but I'd like him to feel comfortable as long as he is alive. (2014.9.13)Recently, I was able to pass the level 2 French exam of DAPF. There are always many questions including dictation that I had to write in French, which was the most difficult part this time. I was very happy to pass the paper exam, but I only had one week to prepare for the oral exam. At first I was not able to show off my communication skills enough in front of the two professors, but managed to recover my fluency in the second half.(2014.8.25)It was fantastic to see one of my friends who got to know my son through the Internet. He dropped by our house on his way to Kyoto during his short vacation. My son had doubted he would come to see us since he is a busy man. Once my husband and I went to the concert where he played Chopin's songs on the piano. I wish the young, talented man a good luck in everything he does.(2014.8.13)One of my blogger friends has become famous now in Japan. He had been accepted to many prestigious universities in Canada, even though he is only 13 years old. I admire his superior brains. Once, he sent me a message for my son in February that said "Congratulations to your son for winning the Aichi prefectural Governor's award !" I really felt close to him, but now he lives in a totally different world.(2014.7.27)優秀な頭脳の持ち主でカナダに住んでいるFC2ブロガ―でもある少年、これからの輝かしい将来が楽しみです。扶桑社から、“ザ・ギフティッド”という本を出版されました。

A friend of mine who recently had an operation said that she appreciated my intention to visit her in hospital however she feels she is not up to receiving visitors just yet. I can imagine how sad she is. According to her doctor, her cancer case was incipient, but she didn't need a total removal of the breast. She was supposed to receive a partial mastectomy. However, the doctor decided to remove the whole breast since he found another tumor. Nowadays, reconstructive mammoplasty is very popular. She may be able to regain her figure.(2015.7.26)Une amie a subi une mastectomie récemment, elle est encore à l'hôpital. Elle m'a dit que son docteur avait enlevé tout le sein, ça l'a complètement déprimée. Avant le docteur disait que son cas était très léger.乳癌初期段階なので数日で退院できると言っていた友達からなかなか連絡が来ないのでメールしたらまだ病院にいるとのこと、全摘になったと言ったのでびっくりしました。早期発見で良かったと言っていたところです。

A few days ago, I watched the movie "The Devil's Violinist " at a theater in Nagoya. I often pause movies at home, so it was nice to sit and relax and enjoy the music without disturbance for a change. The violinist, David Garrett played the lead role in the movie as a noted 19th century violinist Niccolo Paganini. As they say, he is the right man for the role, and I was impressed by his music performance.(2014.7.28)電話や玄関のベルの音、夜は家族、私の自由時間は小刻みです。語学の勉強のためにDVDを見るのですが何度も中断しなくてはいけません。先日久しぶりに映画館へ行くことができました。

My husband thought he caught a cold since he had a headache and fiver for over one week last month. He still felt languid after a long rest, so finally went to the doctor last week. Actually it was a heatstroke, not a cold. My son also has a headache as he was under the sun for over 3 hours when he had to wait for the invited guests of his school's orchestra. He kept on drinking athletic drink buying from a vending machine near by, which helped him from getting a heavy heatstroke. Because of the chore, he got a lot of tan, felt tired, and was not be able to regain his best condition until the exam season started.(2014.8.3)主人が一週間近くも熱が下がらず風邪だと思っていたら熱中症だと診断されました。
